Chord Poly Streamer Pre DAC Looking for a Chord Poly before I go grab a new one, I thought I'd see if anyone here has one. Just want to run Roon on my Mojo2 and I believe this is the best option (?) PM me with pic/price. I am in Melb CBD Cheers Condition: Great Payment Method: Region/State: (VIC) Victoria/Australia By DacMan101 0 Comments Secure Ad AUD $450 Date: October 7, 20241 yr
Compared with a new desktop stack or a higher-end DAC/amp combo, A$450 looks like a solid buy for this level of gear. Against your own market data, it lands below the A$517 median and just above the A$436 25th percentile, so it sits in the good-value band rather than merely fair.
The appeal here is the Mojo 2’s reputation for genuinely strong sound quality in a tiny, portable chassis: it is one of those rare headphone amps/DACs that can work as a serious desktop piece or travel companion without feeling compromised. If it’s clean, holds charge properly, and includes the right cable(s), this is the sort of listing that makes sense to move on quickly.

Chord Electronics, a British high-fidelity powerhouse, traces its roots to the aviation industry. Founded in 1989 by John Franks, a former Marconi Avionics engineer, the company emerged from his early 1980s innovations in ultra-reliable, high-frequency switching power supplies for aircraft electronics. Initially too costly for commercial viability, the designs became feasible with advancing components, launching Chord from its Kent headquarters in a renovated pumphouse that remains its manufacturing heart.
The brand excels in premium amplifiers and digital-to-analog converters (DACs), blending Franks' analog prowess with digital expertise from FPGA specialist Rob Watts. Early power amplifiers quickly won acclaim from professional studios like the BBC, Abbey Road, and Skywalker Sound, establishing credibility before shifting focus to consumer hi-fi. Iconic products like the Hugo and Mojo DACs exemplify their boundary-pushing approach, alongside integrated amps and streamers, all handcrafted in the UK without compromise on power, precision, or musicality.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Chord commands respect among discerning audiophiles for its uncompromising engineering, aerospace-grade reliability, and bold innovation. Independent and proudly British, it sets benchmarks in transparency and dynamics, attracting buyers who demand reference-level performance over mass-market concessions.
